Is This A Scam?

Guys, what is this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Boxed-Core-I7-6700K-4-00-GHz-8M-Processor-Cache-4-LGA-1151-BX80662I76700K-/262427904805? Real or not

Most likely a scam.

genthug · May 8, 2016

bruh, you're a god. I mean, I don't even care if it is or not. If I don't get a new boxed i7 6700k with all of it's stuff, I file with eBay, they give me my money back. I think the seller messed up big time. Probably attempting to set up a bid but set it as buy now.

I'm really hopin' this is true

Saw that a while back. Scam, stolen, or fake.

USAFRet · May 8, 2016

We saw one of these the other day.
ebay eventually reported back with SCAM.

It is a scam. You will not get an I7-6700K for $25.00.

turkey3_scratch :

I mean, it's not all that big of a deal to me

I can always just go talk to eBay's support/resolution center. It'll be an extra hour or so of my time probably, but yknow, *shrugs*. Oh well. I'm still hoping

Did you read what USAFRet wrote?

Same thing here, from a coupla weeks ago:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3044361/i6700k-ebay.html

At the end, from ebay:
"We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction. If you've already sent payment, the sale should process as normal and you don't have anything to worry about. If you have any questions about delivery, please check tracking or contact your seller. If you run into any trouble along the way eBay is here to help. Please visit the Resolution Center to help resolve any problems you may encounter."

I don't know if this was just a typo or not, but if not, it would explain it, lol.

"You are currently looking at ONE(1) ... New - Retail Box..."

Guys, I'm still hoping. Don't take this away from me

You are being completely ridiculous. Look at reality rather than excitement. We're trying to help you.

genthug · May 8, 2016

You took it away from me

turkey3_scratch · May 8, 2016

genthug :

Guys... I'm really sad... even though I already cancelled everything that had to do with it before I got this message... It only took like an hour...

Sad? Why?
Because you didn't blow $25 on an obvious scam?

You would have had better return on investment by waiting until next winter, and lighting a $20 bill and a $5 bill on fire, and gaining 0.03 degree extra heat in your kitchen for about 30 mins.

Wouldn't burning 25 $1 bills be a better bang for the buck?

genthug · May 8, 2016

I'm going to create a furnace in my home to heat pennies with so I can have a rechargeable heat method in lieu of this $25 dollar scam, thanks for the ideas guys

USAFRet · May 8, 2016

bignastyid :

Yes. But that only scales so far.
